Katy Stokes replied to helen maddison's discussion HELP"Hi, you can also buy the icing from weigh and save in the granger market, i'm sure you could find how to make it on the internet. i think Simon and Clare's advice about buying it makes sence. My mum used to make wedding cakes and birthday…"
Katy Stokes left a comment for clare armstrong"it is not a problem or building up the height of the cake, it is more to do with width of the cake. a conventional oven will not take a 40cm cake. you also can't buy a 40cm tin. it's ok though we're going to reduce it in size to…"
clare armstrong left a comment for Katy Stokes"Hi Katy
In regards to your question about your oven not being big enough!
I would suggest that you bake the cake in tins or trays and layer it using cake boards and dowling. you can buy the dowls from either a cake shop or a cheaper version from a…"
Katy Stokes replied to Simon Head Baker's discussion Has anyone else decided how big to make their cake?"i've been doing some investigation and it's not possible to bake our cake (dunston rocket) at the scale given in a conventional oven. i think we're going to shrink it by 50%. would this be ok? i don't what to spoil the overall…"
Katy Stokes replied to Simon Head Baker's discussion Where do you think the Flash Mob Picnic should be....."i'm guessing they'd have an exhibition on but how about floor 4 of the baltic. people could then not only walk round the map but also view the whole thing from the viewing area on floor 5 as well."
Jay Brady commented on Katy Stokes's blog post Cake Planning"It is a rather odd shape isn't it. Could you use round cakes cut into the right shape then stacked with dowels and boards for support? Rather like one of those multi-tiered wedding cakes without any pillars and with cakes all of similar size. I…"

Katy Stokes left a comment for Nicola Gartland"Hi, we're trying to finish the plans for our cake and could do with some more detailed plans than the ones given on ebay. Simon mentioned that you might be able to tell us where we could get some."
"Hi Katy, If you send a message to Nicola Gartland of Xsite (you'll find her in Cakebook) she'll be happy to advise on where to get better plans of the Rocket. Simon"
Katy Stokes replied to Iona Owen's discussion Which one are you doing"Hi, Myself and my husband are building the Dunstan Rocket. it's all very exciting but i'm not sure how were going to make a cake 1m high. it might make some practice."
Katy Stokes posted a blog postCake Planning
have started to plan out our cake, looking at the plan that was on ebay we think the way to go is to make our own cake tins. i'm not sure we'll find ones to buy that will be useful for making the shape of the Dunston rocket.

- Hi Katy
In regards to your question about your oven not being big enough!
I would suggest that you bake the cake in tins or trays and layer it using cake boards and dowling. you can buy the dowls from either a cake shop or a cheaper version from a D.I.Y shop that you can cut to the required size
By doing this you will ensure that your cake is quite sturdy
Hope this helps you out!
Any more questions drop me a line
